Who seels the adapters for mechanical autometer temp and oil pressure? Im hooking up the guages in my 93 coupe mustang ls1 conversion and i need to find the adapters to connect the mechanical water temp guage on the cyclinder head and the oil pressure guage. Who seels them? And does any one have the right part numbers?

Autometer sells the adapter for the manual Oil Pressure gauge, but as for the Manual temp gauge, i think some people had to make them custom, autometer sells the adapter for the electric water sender.

sender adapters I went thru that 6 weeks ago with the Autometer ones. The 1/8 pipe adapter has no thru hole for the water temp probe. I kept ordering the wrong thread, think it's M14 x 1.5 ,pull the plug from the rear of the pass side head to check , that's where I put mine. You could drill the hole thru for the probe to prutrude into the head to read correctly or just keep t he gasket from the plug & go get a m14 x 1.5 bolt from the hardware store & drill exactly thru the center the size of the probe. It is really close to the I.D of the M14 thread so don't go any bigger than necessary. It works great in my LS1.
If you don't have any accurate way to drill it then ask a machinist close by or pm me & I will do one for you if you can tell me the exact size of the probe -end of the sender.
